China denies incursion into India
September 7th, 2009 - 1:32 pm ICT by IBNSBeijing, New Delhi, Sept 7 (IBNS) The Chinese Foreign Ministry Monday dismissed the reports of incursion into India as ‘groundless’.
“Reports of any incursion into India are groundless and based on incidents which never happened,” the Ministry said in a statement issued to media on Monday.
“China wants a fair and mutually understandable solution to this incursion issue through a peaceful and friendly negotiation with India,” added the statement.
Meanwhile, the Indian Army on Monday confirmed that there was indeed an incursion by Chinese Army on July 31.
“The Chinese troops have left signs of transgression …they have a different sense of perception of where the Line of Actual Control is, but we will take up the issue with them,” said an Indian Army officer on conditions of anonymity.
The Chinese troops had allegedly entered nearly 1.5 kilometres into the Indian territory near Mount Gya, recognised as International border by India and China and painted boulders and rocks with red spray paint, official sources told Times Now.
“The Chinese troops wrote ‘China’ in Cantonese all over boulders and rocks. It was discovered during the border patrol,” said sources.
The 22,420 ft Mount Gya is located at the tri-junction of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, and Tibet. Its boundary was marked during the British era and regarded as International border by the two countries.
